1 Introduction
BaracodaPencil 2 is easy to use. Just press the trigger in order to switch on the scanner and simply press
it again to scan a barcode. The colours of the LEDs indicate the status of the device. A beep indicates
when the scanner connects to the remote device and when a barcode is scanned successfully.

Barcodes are transmitted in real time to the remote host devices/terminals using Bluetooth wireless
technology or can be stored in the scanner and later uploaded to a remote device/terminal always using
Bluetooth wireless technology. You can download software updates as well as additional documentation
